Many thanks to the author for this compilation. To say that I liked the compilation is an understatement! The modification improves the game, introduces a lot of new things, and makes the gameplay more engaging.
I'm glad you liked my take on Heroes 5 and appreciated my efforts; it's nice to hear =)
Regarding your questions:
1) I don't know how to implement new composite artifacts, so if there were any ideas in that direction, their implementation is unfortunately not possible for me at the moment.
2) The wheel has been greatly improved, and perhaps the most time-consuming part of the process was working on it, specifically photoshopping all 18 skill wheels. It was a very long and tedious process, especially since I didn't have the original files and only had the image.
3) I thought about making it 8 slots instead of 6, but since the game has a limit of 40 levels, which Heroes 3 doesn't have, I decided not to change this aspect of Heroes 5, as it would result in empty slots. However, this isn't a big deal; the real problem is that players might only focus on basic skills (attack, defense, logistics, and so on) and not delve deeper into the skills (not choosing standard perks and special ones).
4) Summoning magic in Armageddon's Blade is more powerful in some areas:
For example, more minions are spawned,
A hero with the Summoning Expert skill can destroy towers, gates, and walls with a single cast - EXAMPLE -,
Celestial Shield more conveniently blocks damage depending on the level of upgrade,
A few more elementals are summoned (and 25% more at the expert level).
You can find detailed information about the changes to other magic and spells in this table - LINK
5) Regarding Heroes for Fun, unfortunately, even before I started Modding, I had already seen his mod reviews.
And after watching them, I didn't feel like downloading them; on the contrary, I already had a superficial understanding of everything and listened to his opinion about the mod, which was often not very flattering.
And after I heard him say in one of his videos that he doesn't play mods, everything became clear.
Unfortunately, the person creates his own content, not a mod review. He doesn't study what and how it works, he doesn't compare and doesn't delve into the nuances.
He downloaded it, looked at the visuals, and made some smart comments about the mod's balance relative to 3.1, while comparing the changes to the vanilla version, not to what happened to the balance in the mod itself. And that's it.
If you want to understand and tell others about the expanded possibilities, you need to delve into it.
But if you just want to collect views and likes with comments, then it's enough to just go in and click around on the screen.
But does the mod deserve such treatment and such a review? Will it be a plus? I doubt it.
